Answer:
You are correct, c is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two hot air balloons.
Balloon one: starts at 30 miles from town and after 2 hours, it is 48 miles
Distance of Tasha's balloon is represented by function y = 8x + 20
x is independent variable so it would represent the time.
y is dependent so it represents the miles travelled.
Balloon one = (0, 30) <-- begins here and (2, 48)
Balloon two = (0, 20).
So balloon one began at 30 miles while tasha's balloon began at 20 miles from town.
So Henry's balloon was farther form the town at the beginning.
Now let's find the slope/rate of change and compare then.
Henry's balloon: y-y1/x-x1 = 48-30/2 = 18/2 = 9
Tasha's balloon m: 8
9>8 Therefore henry was faster
